We talked about the purchase of alaska, the US believed in manifiest destiny in order to expand. After the civil war they bought for about 2cents an acre.Then Jenna talked about us getting puerto rico, it used to be spelt different, then our military started taking control of it. Puerto Rico is now a common wealth, they can come to the US without passports, they have to pay US taxes, they are involved with the US pagent. They are considered US citizens.We also talked about cuba becoming a hostile state, Cuba could not be annexed, which gauranteed Cuba independence. We gained control of cuba after the war, cuba hated the fact we were inside of there country. We were supposed to leave right away but we didn't. We gave full independence in agreement for gauntamano bay.
